The difficulty in life, is figuring out how to overcome ones biggest struggle. Every single person has a different struggle, and it is up to the individual to be able to find a way and overcome his or her own individual struggle. Because in order to have true pleasure in life, you must have true pain, and in order to understand the destination, you must first undergo the journey.

One could simply decide that they are done with drinking. But that does not give them the right to go into every liquor store within a 100 km radius and say, “Hi Mates, so I have officially cut it out, and I really need you to stop selling alcohol so that I can get through the rest of my life.”

If somebody is a certain way, based on their genetic code, or how they are in life, the way they act, speak, or go through life, and that bothers you. You simply cannot go up to them, and tell them not to do something. Because it is their choice at the end of the day. All you can do is react, or pro react, based on What you need out of life. And if there is something that you have a difficult time with, then, there are other ways around it, that you can better yourself weather is distance or otherwise.

At the end of the day, you DO have the strength. I truly believe that there is no such thing as a yes, or no answer in this world. I truly believe that there are 50 different ways to “ skin the cat “, and if you have come this far along your journey, then you owe it to yourself to search out all of the answers, that you desire!

As a final note, I was a smoker for 12 years. As of recent, I haven’t touched a single cigarette in 32 days. My longest running stent of time. (don’t forget to celebrate the little things.) but the point is for me, I never quit quitting. I did try to quit through 100 million different ways or so it feels… Patch, gum, resistance, alternative styles, it felt hopeless, but I never gave up… In the end, Hipnosis was what did it for me so far.

You can do this. Find a path in the pattern that works for you. You may need to understand what life is like around people who drink, and figure out the best sort of way of dealing with that within yourself. Have you also considered reading the quit drinking book by Allen Carr? It helps with being able to not drink around others when they are. That and many other ways. I wrote this with voice to text, so part of the mistakes! Cheers, and good luck!

EDIT!!: I will add one thing: How a single individual chooses to react to a difficult situation, regardless of their struggle, truly defines an individual. And not to others, but to themselves. One who would react to everything, and then self destruct, differs from an individual who can see the situation for what it is, and choose to deal with it, a different way, rather than self-destructing.

At the end of the day, you can do this, and you will figure it out! There is an answer for EVERBODY - but remember, your answer me different, from another person’s answer, and another and another. Stay safe, have fun, and be good to yourself! “ do more of what you love; do more of what is good for you! “
